That makes sheffield shine

I wouldnt say the people, but the city is just on the doorstep from the countryside and has alot of attractions all round.

The people, the location, the history, and of course....SUFC.

I think there isn't that much about sheffield that makes it shine, don't get me wrong its a great place, but the people?great people are worldwide,steel where?
you cant really go see it,being close to somewhere else, that is just good by association.
"I was going to start a thread entitled "how to attract more tourists to the city"
I think the best thing about sheff is that it keeps on going,and admits its faliures and tries to rectify them as it ages and its nearly all things to all people yet doesnt have many of the drawbacks/shortcomings of say London or seaside resorts,
doesn't make much sense but I can't elaborate the idea any better than that

THCAyle · 26-04-2006, 11:30

i would say the graffiti,but the sheffield scene aint what it used to be.

so instead im gonna say the DRUM AND BASS!

Whatever happened to skinheads chasing you through Pondstreet,the smell of urine in the subways,drunks in the Hole In Road,kids dropping chips on your head from the galleries?.

Sheffield jus aint the same anymore.

I think that's just what Sheffield could do with - a seaside, then it would be perfect in my opinion (and maybe a couple of really good bookshops)

Well, to be honest, I couldn't have got where I am now if it weren't for many people in Sheffield. We came here in 9170's, and straight away people helped us out. When our house was on fire, I remember, this ran out of his house, and got me and my sisters out.

Then there's those who looked after us, and helped us in other ways. So, I like sheffield because of the people. It's the people that make sheffield what it is. Brill city.

I remember it took me a while to used to all the "loves", "flowers", and "ducks" when I moved here 9 years ago, but I think the people are lovely too (even the cranky bus drivers!)

Type error, lol. Just to add. Just yesterday, someone who helped me in Sheffield found out where I lived. And dropped a note, saying, "your welcome to visit me and my partner, and family still live in Shiregreen."

I wont mention the person's name, but see what I mean; there's a lot of good people in Sheffield. I haven't see them and family for 10 years.

You're right 4U2NV; sheffield people are unified. Not all, but I met more good people than one who just don't want to say hi.

Yes sheffield people are good, so lets open fire to a innocent man walking threw hillsborough and give him a hole in his back for no reason
